Alice, I have goat stuff in the fridge, a cabinet in the barn & my hoosier cabinet has the 2 upper shelfs & the bread drawer all filled with animal stuff, there may be a couple things in there for the rabbits & ducks but only a couple.

Emily, Goats metabolism's are very fast. Usually when you notice one is sick or even a little OFF acting if you don't act quickly they will be dead in a matter of a few days.
This little buckling sounds pretty sick & needs attention Now. I read that you don't drive. Maybe explain to your mother how serious this is that you get the proper medications for this little guy before it's too late.

Alright he got his first does of sulmet tonight and i will continue on for 4 more days.

Oh Good. Make sure you give him enough. Better to go a little higher on dosage than too low if your not real sure of his weight.
Continue with the Sulumet but also he will still need to be wormed with Cydectin or Quest like previous posters suggested.

I hope your little guy is feeling better soon.

If you have Probios Paste I would give him a big glob of that too, if you don't have that put it on your list for your next trip to town or maybe your mom can pick a few things up for you.

okay im going to the store today and i will get him some pro bios! And can i worm him while hes on treatment with sulmet? I bought some quest seeming i only have 4 goats. How much would you give a 20lb goat?

This is a great link for wormers & dosages and yes you can still worm him with the quest even though he's on the sulumet now.

Okay thank you ! So update: Hes already showing improvment. His diriaha has stopped and hes becoming back like his normal self! Thank you everyone!

Glad to hear it. Keep up the good work. There is a huge learning curve with goats, don't feel bad you'll get the hang of it.
